Decrease of internal resistance of a solar cell while increasing the ...

As load resistance is reduced it draws more current until getting to the ''knee'' where cell output is current limited. Then the voltage drops sharply, which corresponds to a sharp increase in internal resistance. Here the primary internal resistance contributor is the limited current supply.

How Does Solar Cell Output Vary with Incident Light Intensity?

Introduction. Solar cells are electronic devices that can transform light energy into an electric current.Solar cells are semiconductor devices, meaning that they have properties that are intermediate between a conductor and an insulator. When light of the right wavelength shines on the semiconductor material of a solar cell, the light creates a flow of electrons.
